Truly exceptional. He was my third consult but certainly the right decision. I had a breast implant replacement surgery, after 25 years having saline implants. After the surgery I had a serious complication come up that no one could have predicted, so I had to have a second emergency surgery. Dr Anderson took such great care of me, came quickly to the hospital for the surgery and fixed the issue (related to high blood pressure- not at all to the implant replacement). So thankful I chose him, I don't know if I'd even be here writing this review if it wasn't for his fantastic patient care. Do not hesitate to select him for surgery, make the consultation and you will know you have made the BEST choice. I can't say enough great things about him and his wonderful, caring staff.
I had a horrible tummy tuck done by another doctor and the results were so bad with a thick scar above my shorts line and my stomach still protruding out and my belly button sticking out like a hernia. I went to Dr. Anderson telling him my story and eventually getting to read my medical records he agreed to help me. I was nervous having to do the procedure all over again due to the first one being so painful and awful. Dr. Anderson made me feel so much better and comfortable about the situation and the day of surgery he came in went over everything again, made sure my husband knew exactly what was happening and kept him updated. Dr. Anderson went in doing a tummy tuck revision and went in tightening my ab wall muscles and then cutting all my scar out and lowering my scar to be hidden by clothes now, correcting all my flaws from the first procedure. My recovery has been amazing compared to my first, his staff is amazing as well! I'm in love with my results especially with what he had to work with! He did an amazing job and I would highly recommend him to any patient looking for a Doctor who cares and wants best for his patients! Updated on 14 Apr 2020: I am 3 weeks 4 days post surgery in these pictures and feel great! Stand straight up and healing great. I’m currently 3 weeks 6 days now and so pleased with the outcome of this surgery.
I wanted to choose a surgeon that I felt I could count on to leave me with a very natural look. I'm a physician, so I had an inside track to ask around among other doctors as to who would be a good choice for a surgeon. Dr. Anderson's work is well respected among his colleagues. I'm in my early 60's, and I wanted to look younger and fresher, without looking "done". Dr. Anderson absolutely delivered the goods. People didn't really seem to notice any drastic change, but I can tell that I look about 10 years younger. Adding the eyelid surgery was a great idea. There's more loose skin up there than you realize, and tightening that up makes a big difference. The surgery center Dr. Anderson uses was top notch. I would make the same decision in a heartbeat.
To feel sexy, to be able to walk around without a bra if I want to and to be able to find a bra that fits. Tried of having bra straps that won’t stay up no matter how much I pay for them. Had one breast that was large than the other.
I am a mom of 2 and both of them were born via c-section. I've worked really hard over the last few years to lose weight and become more fit. I feel as if no matter what I do my stomach never really goes down. When I do ab workouts I don't feel my core engaging. I recently went to my 1st TT consult and the doc was great! He said I don't have a lot of fat in my stomach area, it's mostly lose skin. He also said I don't need lipo with the TT as my hips look great. I am very nervous to go through with this surgery as it has a lot of risk. I know I will be so happy once it's done! Any advice or encouragement would be nice!
I was provided with a lot of good information and ideas; though I was nervous. I don't think anyone at the clinic noticed just how nervous I was...thank goodness. The clear and concise information; friendly, professional staff and calming surroundings made me comfortable in making my decision to have the procedure of Botox and fillers. This is my only reason for only 4 stars in that I've no idea what to expect hereafter but just hours after, I am experiencing no pain or bruising! That really should be an extra star...right!
The staff at Anderson's Medspa is awesome! Literally from the front desk to the estheticians, it's just an amazing wave of energy there. The office is beautiful and there's always some really good/refreshing water. All of my concerns are always addressed & prioritize accordingly. My face has improved so quickly with the hydrafacial treatments and the products I purchased that were recommended.
I am starting to get really excited, nervous, and all of the other feelings that I suppose are normal. I am starting to really look at a lot of pre and post-pics on the site...trying to find pre-surgical patients to whom I look similar. I really hope I have realistic expectations. I don't want to be disappointed simply because I set the bar so high. I am scheduled for an abdominoplasty in 17 days. I am a Nurse Practitioner, so unfortunately I may know too much going in to major surgery. My goal is to really listen to my surgeon and not think that I have great ideas about how to take care of myself any differently than he instructs! Really, I am worried about the pain. I am the first to recognize that I may be a bit of a baby. I am sure there will be lots of whining and crying involved that first 48 hours. Updated on 20 Feb 2018: I really wish this was tomorrow. I don’t know how I am going to deal with this anxiety for 9 more days. Some pre and post weight loss pics. My kids are 15 and 17 years old and I finished a masters program last year. I am finally taking care of myself again. I have everything together. I found a walker to help for the first few days. Trying to prepare my husband appropriately for what to expect. Updated on 25 Feb 2018: I decided to take some before pics to help me remember why I am doing this. (Not sure why some of them keep uploading sideways...) I am buying groceries today and then I think I am ready. Updated on 27 Feb 2018: By this time tomorrow I should be headed for the OR. At this point, I am looking forward to the nap ???? Updated on 27 Feb 2018: 12 hours before arrival time. Updated on 28 Feb 2018: Was at the hospital by 530 AM and rolling to the OR a little after 7. Woke up in recovery around 11 and Home around 130. Pain is not horrible at all. I was prepared for the worst. I am sure tomorrow will be worse, but we will see. Updated on 2 Mar 2018: Ok, so last night started to get pretty rough. Updated on 2 Mar 2018: Yesterday was really pretty rough. The incision itself is kind of numb, so it isn’t bothersome at all. The muscle repair is what really hurts. I lived on hydrocodone yesterday and the night before. Today was much better. Drainage is clear. Only 2 pain pills all day. Otherwise managed with activity and Tylenol. My back hurts, which I had read about. I do better with a walker just to give my back that little bit of support. I also have an extra binder that I have put on over my surgical one but a little higher to support my mid-back so that has made a difference! Updated on 2 Mar 2018: He removed about 16 inches of skin (almost 7 pounds). I am dying to see it, but I am following instructions to the letter! Updated on 3 Mar 2018: I haven’t really had a lot of pain today. I woke up with a horrible headache though. Been trying to get rid of that all day. Was able to sit outside again today for about.45 minutes. It’s sunny and about 70 degrees so that was nice. Finally found a supported side-lying position. Thank god. Going to try for a nap. Updated on 4 Mar 2018: I can't believe it has only been 4 days-feels like weeks! Not because it has been bad-I'm just a person who needs to stay busy and that has been difficult when you can't just hop up and do what needs to be done. That being said, my son and I went to the movie. He drove and it's less than 10 minutes away. He dropped me at the door. After the movie, I walked back to the car and we drove right back home. I found my bed and slept for over 2 hours! LOL On the bright side, it is the first time I have been able to actually get in my bed since surgery. I am sick of these drains, but I am glad they are doing their job. I really can't understand how this procedure can be done without drains. I read about ladies planning it here, but there is no way I would do it without them. I imagine all of that fluid just builds up between the tissues causing problems. There are times when I am uncomfortable, that I can actually move the tubing around or strip the tubing and it is better. I don't want them out until there is nothing left to build up there. I still haven't taken off my binder and foam. I am dying to see but I don't want the dreaded swelling that everyone complains about. Compress and drain-that is my week one post-op mantra! Only 1/2 of a pain pill this morning when I got up. I probably would have felt better just by moving around for a while, but I did both. The sun is poking out here finally, so I will go soak up a little sunshine. Updated on 5 Mar 2018: Slept all night in my bed. Amazing. Not quite Comfortable all night, but I feel pretty good. My hairdresser is going to wash and dry my hair today. That should feel amazing. My mom is here and we are going to get out and do a few simple things. Getting kind of depressed sitting in the house. Will let you know how exhausted I feel later. Updated on 6 Mar 2018: Today was very good! No pain medicine at all today. Although I did take Tylenol for this headache that keeps bugging me. Saw my PS. It looks AMAZING. I am so excited. He said he was very happy with my recovery. I am still having quite a bit of drainage so I have to keep my drains, but you know I am ok with that. He wants me to starting sitting and standing straight! Yay, no more hunchback! Updated on 7 Mar 2018: Took my binder and foam off for about 15-20 minutes this morning to really get freshened up. Had my hair dresser wash and style my hair yesterday so I am ok with a couple of more no-shower days-since I can take care of everything myself now. Still have a headache, but it is tolerable. I think I need a good neck, upper back massage... A good friend came and took me to lunch and now I am sitting outside enjoying the sunshine and my dogs. This is the first time I have really been alone since surgery and I must admit it is nice. Now I have a whole week to rest and recover before going back to work. Updated on 7 Mar 2018: Got my pic of my old skin! Updated on 11 Mar 2018: So I got rid of one drain! wow, what a difference. The other is still draining a bunch, so I will get to keep it a while longer... But, like I have said before, fluid is better out than in! Got a bunch of the glue out of my BB- I love it. It is the same shape as my original, but just back where it belongs :) Updated on 11 Mar 2018: I have used this app throughout my weight loss. It makes a huge difference when you compare side-by-side. I think this was pretty impressive for 9 days post-op! Updated on 14 Mar 2018: Had week 2 post-op visit yesterday. I have to keep the 2nd drain. I am still having a lot of drainage. It is mostly clear, serous fluid but I certainly don't want all of that building up behind my incision. He put me in a garment (instead of the binder) and I LOVE it. I may wear it every day for the rest of my life. Nothing is moving under there. AT all. He told me I needed to decrease my activity. That was frustrating. I felt so great that I really just "rested" when I got tired or uncomfortable. I had planned to be back at work today, but decided to REALLY do nothing all day. I watched HGTV for hours and then I took a nap. I hate sitting here. AND to make it worse, when I sit...I eat. AND because I am sitting, I am burning like zero calories... I didn't take any pics today because I haven't taken this garment off. No one else is home today and all of my friends are at work. I'm afraid I couldn't get it back on-lol These are from yesterday Updated on 14 Mar 2018: Headed back to work in the morning! Here is the info on my garment. Couldn't wait to get it back on after my shower. It has hooks and zipper on each side with an open crotch. I'm only 5ft tall so it seriously goes all the way to my knees and I can even pull it up to my boobs :) My poor dog. I am sure she is sick of seeing me naked! Updated on 24 Mar 2018: It has been quite a few days since I posted, so let me give an update. I worked every day this week-Monday and Tuesday mornings and then full days W/Th/F. OMG, exhausting-I took a nap every day with the exception of Thursday (and I really regretted that!) and still was worthless when I got home. Yesterday I napped at lunch, was home by 4-napped again until 6 then back to bed at 10. The fatigue is REAL. It is SO frustrating but I am just trying to deal with it and not beat myself up about it. I feel lazy which I hate. You can only imagine how that feels after losing almost 70 pounds-NOT good!!! Looking back, I suppose I felt so great that 2nd week that I did way too much. So, if you are reading this and you are thinking going to the movie or a little shopping or out to lunch with a friend sounds great-don't do it. You will pay for it later. May be I had like an endorphin rush being so happy with my new appearance-WHO knows. My belly feels great. Finally have no drains and have started scar cream. I am also able to massage and start to break down some of the suture to help flatten out the skin. Again, I am still very fatigued and my legs are sore-not like pain-like I need to go to the ER. Like I walked a billion miles yesterday discomfort. I have been wearing mild compression socks while at home and sleeping. That has made a big difference. I thought I could get away with not doing that last night (they are warm) and I regret it this morning. Ok, let me get you some updated pics! Updated on 24 Mar 2018: Second drain out! Updated on 24 Mar 2018: Updated on 27 Mar 2018: Updated on 1 Apr 2018: It looks amazing! I couldn't be happier!!! Started having a little pain where I was hurting before the second drain came out. Feel great-do several things-exhausted-rest-feel great-do a couple more things-exhausted! Frustrating. Updated on 24 Apr 2018: So I finally feel back to myself! Having to slowly work back in to my exercise routine. I am so very happy with my results so far!!!! Updated on 22 Jun 2018: Photo from Dr. Anderson's office. Pretty amazing if I may say! So happy! Would do it all again in a heartbeat!
I took after my fathers side of the family and not one woman on his side of the family has breast, and growing up it was toug being flat chested and as I got older it didn’t get better, because it was things I wanted to wear and couldn’t, body wise I have always for the most part had a nice body, but I always desired breast.... So after years of wanting I decided to make a change. And I couldn’t be happierUpdated on 31 Jan 2018: Overall I am satisfied with Dr. Anderson work, but looking now I really feel like I should have went bigger, don’t get me wrong the 325cc moderate profile I have is a major come up from where I was but I cant help but to feel like I am still flat chested in a sense.. so my advice even if you want smaller implants go a little bigger it will be worth it.Updated on 1 Feb 2018: I went to the doctor today for my first post op visit and things are progressing very well. I was a little upset at first at the size, but they do seem to be getting bigger as the settle. I went to get fitted for a specific bra my doctor wanted me to have and it gave me a sense of hope knowing I am getting bigger. Still swollen in certain areas but definitely loving my results and the work Dr. Anderson did.Updated on 1 Feb 2018:
Dr. Anderson is a very kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable physician. I was impressed with him the moment we meet at my consultation. I just had tummy tuck and lipo surgery alittle over a week ago and very pleased with my results thus far. I highly recommend him.
Your body needs to recover and heal from your surgery. It takes 3-6 months for that to happen. If at that time you are still not happy with your breasts, discuss your concerns with your docotor. Best of luck to you!
It is up to the discretion of your surgeon. Talk with them and see which bra they would like you to use.
Breasts are all different and come in different sizes, there is not one normal breast size. Breasts continue to develop and change. If you feel that your breasts are too small for you, then you might want to consider a breast augmentation but if you are happy with your size that is ok too.
For my patients the absolute minimum I require is 6 weeks. I prefer that they can go longer without and I also encourage them not to start smoking again after surgery. Best of luck to you!
There is always a chance that you could lose your areola with a mastopexy and an even greater risk with each revision that you do. You might want to consider going with a smaller implant to help with the tension on the scars.
